    • A method for compensating the threshold voltage roll-off using transistors containing back-gates or body nodes is provided. The method includes designing a semiconductor system or chip having a plurality of transistors with a channel length of Lnom. For the present invention, it is assumed that the channel length of these transistors at the completion of chip manufacturing is Lmax. This enables one to set the off-current to the maximum value of I-offmax which is done by setting the threshold voltage value to Vtmin. The Vtmin for these transistors is obtained during processing by using the proper implant dose. After manufacturing, the transistors are then tested to determine the off-current thereof. Some transistors within the system or chip will have an off-current value that meets a current specification. For those transistor devices, no further compensation is required. For other transistors within the system or chip, the off-current is not within the predetermined specification. For those transistors, threshold voltage roll-off has occurred since they are transistors that have a channel length that is less than nominal. For such short channel transistors, the threshold voltage is low, even lower than Vtmin, and the off-current is high, even higher than I-offmax. Compensation of the short channel transistors is achieved in the present invention by biasing the back-gate or body node to give increased threshold voltage about equal to Vtmin and hence an off-current that meets the predetermined specification, which is about equal to I-offmax.
    • 提供了使用包含背栅或体节点的晶体管补偿阈值电压滚降的方法。 该方法包括设计具有通道长度为L nom的多个晶体管的半导体系统或芯片。 对于本发明,假设在芯片制造完成时这些晶体管的沟道长度为L max max。 这使得能够将截止电流设置为通过将阈值电压值设置为Vt分钟来完成的I-OFF 的最大值。 通过使用适当的植入剂量,在处理期间获得这些晶体管的Vt 。 在制造之后,然后测试晶体管以确定其截止电流。 系统或芯片内的一些晶体管将具有满足当前规范的截止值。 对于那些晶体管器件,不需要进一步的补偿。 对于系统或芯片内的其他晶体管,截止电流不在预定的规范内。 对于那些晶体管,已经发生阈值电压滚降,因为它们是具有小于额定值的沟道长度的晶体管。 对于这种短沟道晶体管,阈值电压低,甚至低于Vt分钟<! - SIPO - >,并且截止电流高,甚至高于I-off最大值。 在本发明中通过偏置背栅极或体节点以提供大约等于Vt分钟的阈值电压,从而达到满足预定规格的截止电流来实现短沟道晶体管的补偿, 其大约等于I-off最大

    • An off-chip driver circuit which includes a complementary pair of field effect transistor source followers connected in a non-inverting series circuit arrangement. The driver circuit includes an n-channel device to pull the output up to the positive supply less the threshold drop across the device and a p-channel device to pull the output down for the opposite transition to within a threshold voltage drop above ground of the p-channel device. The driver circuit includes means for eliminating body effect by connecting the n(p)-well of the p(n) channel transistor to the output node. The driver circuit provides a reduced swing low noise output which reduces the collapse of the power supply. The driver circuit provides an appropriate impedance match to the output transmission line, so that the output transmission line can be terminated to eliminate reflections.

    • The present invention relates to methods and apparatus for improving the stability of static random access memory (SRAM) cells by using boosted word lines. Specifically, a boosted word line voltage (Vdd′) is applied to the word line of a selected SRAM cell, while such a boosted word line voltage (Vdd′) is sufficiently higher than the power supply voltage (Vdd) of the SRAM cell so as to improve the cell stability to a desired level. Specifically, a specific boosted word line voltage is predetermined for each SRAM cell based on the specific cell configuration, by using a circuit simulation program, such as the BERKELEY-SPICE simulation program. A boost voltage generator is then used to apply the predetermined boosted word line voltage to the selected SRAM cell.
